Chapter 13: The Rainstorm (3)
"The wind is blowing."
On the sea, 003 looked up at the sky calmly, and a strong air current was whistling past her ears. Her long black hair was blown wildly in the rain, and she gently untied the black suit on her body, revealing the slender body inside.
"Ah Li, I'll leave the rest to you." Number Three turned his head to look at the Oriental boy who was following next to him, squinting and smiling. Her smile is very good-looking, and she has the gentle intellect that is unique to Japanese girls.
"Don't worry, Suzuko." Seven raised his heroic face and smiled gently.
No. 7 and No. 3 graduated from the same university, and after graduation, they applied to the same college at the same time. It was very fortunate that in that exam of several thousand people, they were both admitted. Of course, this is not because of how good their grades are, but because they have a pure high orc bloodline, which meets the admissions standards of this ancient academy.
Realm Unleashed, Whisper: Dust Domain!
"Whisper: Dust Domain", this is the exclusive ability of Number Seven, the serial number 65 'Dust Domain'.
The ability of the 'Dust Domain' is different from the 'Wind King's Wings', the attribute of the 'Dust Domain' is water, and the ability is resistance. As soon as Seven gives an order within this realm, a huge amount of 'water' will gather from all directions, forming a huge spherical dome. The liquid cover will keep everything out, and nothing will be allowed to enter without permission, including bullets.
"Let's get started, Suzuko." Number Seven said. A huge steel cable pulled them underneath, allowing them to stay firmly behind the Miracle.
"Okay." Wind Chimes nodded, got up and stood barefoot on the speedboat.
The space within the Dust Realm is absolutely static, and nothing inside is affected by the outside world. They are now like a giant water ball dragged by the Miracle, the outside world is turbulent, but the space inside is as calm as a rainy day.
"Great Wind King......" Wind Chimes closed her eyes, and a series of ancient words slowly spat out of her mouth, and the light chanting began, the tempo gradually increased, and finally evolved into a high-pitched chant.
Whisper: Wings of the Wind King
The sparkling blue light gradually condensed behind her, not dazzling at first, but gradually becoming real, and finally covering the back of the wind chimes, holding her whole body in the air.
A pair of wings.
Reflected in Seven's eyes were a pair of cyan wings that glowed pale cyan. The cyan wings were like growing on the shoulder blades of the wind chimes, and the feathers spread slightly to the sides, and the air currents surged behind her, and the huge wind instantly expanded Seven's domain several times. The water balloon, which was originally only 10 meters in diameter, has now been squeezed to 40 meters by gas, and it is still expanding!
"Well done, Reiko." Seven cheers.
The beautiful eyes opened gently, and a pair of golden pupils that were even brighter than No. 7 slowly lit up in the dark night.
"Spirit Release: Holy Wind Staff." The wind chimes snorted softly.
The spirit was released, and the black light quickly condensed in her hands. If 'Whisper' is a supernatural ability given to a half-breed by the orc bloodline, then 'Spirit' is a tool used to strengthen or even multiply this ability. It is like a unique magnifying glass, through which the ability of the 'Whisper' can be maximized.
Wind Chime's bloodline is rated as 'A', and her limit is to use the 'Stygian' to expand Seven's 'Dust Domain' to four times its original size. That is, from the original 10 meters to 40 meters. But after liberating the spirit, this range can be increased to 400 meters, which is equivalent to quadrupling the original fourfold expansion!
"Whew!" The wind began to swell wildly in the hood, and the wind chimes listened silently to their soft moaning. From the rapid whistling, she heard the ...... that flowed between the 'wind' and the 'wind' Cheered.
The Staff of the Holy Wind, a tool that originally existed only in the magical world, was finally summoned to this world.
Pale cyan vines wrap around the bara, and the withered yellow barra is inlaid with gems at the top. The gemstones are half yellow and half indigo, symbolizing death and life, respectively, and the element 'wind' formed by their interweaving together is the largest of the eight elements of the beast race.
The wind chimes stood quietly in the air, feeling the bursts of pleasure brought to her by the 'Holy Wind Staff'. At this moment, the world in her eyes has completely changed, and it has become a world full of wind. In this light cyan world, the figure of the wind is everywhere.
It's not the same feeling that the Whisper gives her. After the Whisper was released, she could clearly feel the friendly kindness of the wind around her. But after releasing the spirit, all the winds within a radius of 5 kilometers showed a gesture of surrender to her. It was a kind of fear of the king, as if there was a hint of slackness, and what awaited them would be never-ending...... Destroy.
It is a kind of control, not a command, not a drive, but absolute control!
"Whisper of the Wind: Draw!" The wind chimes chanted in a low voice, and the ancient dragon script changed from high to low again.
The indigo gem lightly dotted the void, and the pale cyan light streaks spread like water waves to the surroundings. In an instant, all the winds in the cyan world began to stir, and they seemed to have suddenly received some kind of order, and they frantically converged here.
"Whew," there was a deafening sound of wind, and the huge spherical shroud was squeezed by the gas and expanded rapidly. The field was expanding in all directions, and the air pressure was so great that Seven had to concentrate on maintaining the field.
The air currents were gathering too fast, and the air pressure inside was rising sharply at the moment, and it was a little too hard for his water to contain such a large wind. But fortunately, the wind was compressed very solidly, and the wind chimes deliberately helped him reduce some of the pressure.
100 m ...... 200 m ...... 300 meters, and it didn't take long for the domain of the 'Dust Domain' to expand to a range of 400 meters, and the huge space allowed the entire Miracle to be encompassed in it.
We've reached our limits. Wind Chimes's face turned pale, her mouth was panting, and the pale cyan wings behind her suddenly swayed, almost throwing her out of the air.
"Suzuko, are you alright?" Seven weakly withdrew his palm from the water, his face not much better. In the pale golden eyes, the golden pupils had already faded, and only the last glimmer of light remained. Without the blessing of the release spirit, the cost of releasing the spirit of speech is obviously greater than that of wind chimes.
"It's fine." Wind Chimes shook his head. The wings had already lowered her back to the speedboat.
"Ah Li, take a break." Wind Chimes withdrew her words and turned her head to look at Seven.
The realm was complete, but she couldn't take it back yet, the wind and water were only in balance for the time being, and if either of them was destroyed, the realm would collapse in an instant.
"No, it's fine." Seven smiled reluctantly, a pale smile. "We haven't determined the trail of the beast yet, so we can't take it lightly."
"Hmm." Wind Chimes nodded.
Seven is right, the current situation has not yet been determined, and the figure of the beast species has not yet appeared in their field of vision, so everything is still unknown.
The work of underwater detection is not suitable for wind chimes, because the wind cannot penetrate underwater, so the detection can only be done by Seven.
"Then I'll get started." Seven closed his eyes and pressed his hand lightly to the surface of the water again.
Perception begins to creep in. At this moment, the water is equivalent to a huge conductor of consciousness, through which Seven's consciousness can move through the realm at will. He doesn't need to use his eyes, because the huge 'water' is his eyes.
100 m ...... 200 m ......
It didn't take long for Seven's consciousness to cover the entire canopy, and beneath the surface of the sea, his consciousness spread like a spider's web all over the entire field, except for those areas that water could not reach.
"Everything is normal in the field." Seven closed his eyes. Judging from the information fed back to him by the water, there does not seem to be any creature resembling the 'beast species' in the realm. In the entire realm of the 'Dust Domain', only the huge Miracle was roaring 'Boom'.
"Ahri, what's that?" Suddenly, the wind chime's finger pointed to a sea area not far ahead, and said in surprise.
Seven's eyes opened and looked towards her finger, but he was stunned when he looked over.
It was a school of black fish, and I couldn't tell how many species of fish there were, maybe dozens, maybe hundreds, maybe a few dry species!
Huge schools of fish are now emerging from the sea in droves, struggling, jumping and swimming towards the junction of the realms.
"Open...... Are you kidding?" Seven was completely dumbfounded, and although he boasted that he had seen countless strange scenes, none of them could be as shocking as what he was seeing.
That's a huge school of fish hundreds of meters long! Seven even saw a conetooth shark inside. One of the most ferocious predators of the ocean is now fleeing into the realm with its "food" as if it were going crazy.
"They...... Are you scared?" Wind Chime's voice trembled a little, and she said in horror that the "Staff of the Holy Wind" in her hand was ready to be activated.
Something is coming.
"Call Senevia, call Senivia, here is 003, hear please answer, hear please answer! Professor! ”
Wind Chimes yelled anxiously into the channel, but no one answered her. The Senevia had already been thrown a few nautical miles away by them, and only the four and six were still close to them.
But they're still on the other side of the Miracle! Wind Chimes are a little at a loss.
"Ah, get ready to fight!" Wind chimes shouted. There are not so many fish on the sea, and they are frantically surging towards the field.
"Gollum!" Like the sound of a flame boiling through the sea, the fish began to panic. On the surface of the sea, huge bubbles of water tumbled and rose from the bottom of the sea, and the schools of fish struggled and jumped from the surface of the sea in horror as if they had been thrown into a pan of oil in an instant.
The sea was boiling, like something was burning.
"Giggles!"
The strange laughter seemed to rise suddenly from the deep sea, echoing all around, very low, but with a frivolous cheerfulness, as if to mock the ignorance of the world.
"It's coming!" Seven shouted, and the dull golden pupils were ignited by him again.
"Whisper: Dusty Domain!" A high-pitched chant erupted from Seven's mouth, and the defense of the realm was gradually pushed to the extreme by him.
"The Whisper of the Wind: Annihilation." Suddenly, a different chant sounded from the mouth of the wind chime almost at the same time, and then it became faster and faster, and finally caught up with Number Seven completely.
The huge wind began to move at this moment. They accompanied the fall of the withered yellow gem, and they roared and condensed into countless huge blades in the sky above the realm. At this moment, as long as the wind chimes give them an order, tens of thousands of wind blades will be cut down at the same time.
However, unlike the "Whisper of the Wind: Absorb" ability, the ability of "Whisper of the Wind: Annihilation" is attack. It works by killing all the "winds" in the air and then recombining them into a new substance.
This method is very similar to the principle of alchemy, one of the three pillars of the Beasts. But what alchemy "kills" is all alchemical substances, not just "wind", so in terms of degree, wind chimes are far from reaching that level.
"Ah Li, you maintain the realm, don't force yourself." Wind Chimes turned to shout at Seven, looking at him worriedly.
"It's fine." Seven gritted his teeth.
He had re-ordered the "water", and the defenses of the domain began to be strengthened once again.
On the restless sea, the boiling water is gradually being pushed away by something. A dark crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, the crack was dark and bottomless, and a strange laugh was coming from inside, and the fiery red light pierced the entire surface of the sea.
"Puff puff puff", the sea water is boiling more and more, and on the huge sea level, the sea water is heated and expands into water vapor. The fish in the sea are all dead at this moment, because they can't enter the territory, and the sea outside is too boiling.
With a "bang", when the boiling sea boiled to a certain extent, the temperature began to drop sharply, and the huge, fiery red monster with lava flowing all over its body suddenly jumped high from the crack. The sharp tail fin slashed through the air in a beautiful arc, and finally slammed into the field.
With a "boom", the huge field was slammed by the monster and swayed in the rain, and eight slender tail vertebrae hit the cover at the same time, and the wind wall made of liquid trembled and hissed.
"That's what it is...... Beasts?" Seven's eyes glazed over at the behemoth in the sky, his mouth wide open as if he could put down an apple.
This thing is the "beast species"? ...... in the world. There is such a large "beast species"?
The sound of the water "booming", the huge monster fell back into the water, the huge body like a hill smashed open the water, and the sea surface was turbulent and stirred up a huge wave. Seven couldn't even see its appearance clearly, and the figure of the "beast species" had already disappeared in front of him.
"Ah Li, concentrate!" Wind chimes drank. The realm barrier had loosened due to Seven's momentary distraction, and the manic "wind" was tearing at the shroud from the inside out. If No. 7 can't rebalance the relationship between "wind" and "water" at this time, then I'm afraid that the realm has not been broken by the beast species, and it will be the first to be blown up by the "wind".
"Oh, I'm sorry." Seven recovered from the shock and hurriedly chanted the dragon script.
"Was that a beast just now?" Seven lowered his head as he activated the Whisper.
"Yes." Wind Chimes said. She looked up at Seven and asked softly, "Are you scared?"
"Scared? Of course I'm afraid. Seven suddenly smiled at her and shrugged, "As long as people are scared." ”
"But there's no way back, are we? From the time we chose this path. ”
"......" wind chimes.
"After all, we have to be different from ordinary people. As long as there is still a trace of beast blood flowing in our bodies, then we will never be able to return to the ordinary life we used to have. He stared at the sea in the distance and whispered.
"Ah Li, what's wrong with you?" Feng Chime looked at No. 7 with some confusion and said worriedly.
Seven's behavior today was a bit abnormal, she had noticed it from the time the beast species appeared just now, as if it was ...... He was terrified of something.
"No, it's okay, Suzuko." Seven hurriedly changed his smile, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes. But he quickly got back to normal, and said solemnly, "I mean...... It's been a few years since we've been back to Japan, and I'd like to see you back when this mission is over. ”
Seven smiled, reached out and shook off the water from his body, pretending to be calm and looking away.
Wind Chimes stared at No. 7 quietly for a long time, and No. 7 was a little panicked, and finally he scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a forced smile, "If you don't want to, then we can go to the Arc de Triomphe, don't you often say that you want to go to Charles de Gaulle Square to see the triumphal arch built by Napoleon to commemorate the return of the Battle of Austerlitz?" Let's go wherever we go. ”
But no matter how much he tried to hide it, the wind chimes still stared at him motionlessly. It's like a serious-eyed elder staring at a child who has made a mistake.
"Hehe......" Seven laughed awkwardly.
Fortunately, in the end, Wind Chime finally looked away, and under the nervousness of Seven, he said, "Concentrate on the mission, and wait until the mission is over...... I'll go with you again. ”
The last sentence she said in an almost inaudible voice, and if it weren't for the careful listening of the Seventh, I'm afraid that even if the wind chimes had said it, he wouldn't have known that she had said it.
"Really?" Seven scratched his head and scratched his ears, a little unable to believe his ears.
"Really." Wind Chimes turned away and stopped looking at him.
"I'm ...... Won the lottery?" Seven scratched his head, couldn't figure out the situation, and there was a buzzing sound in his head.
December 25, 6 a.m. Typhoon No. 0517 "Violet" made landfall on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, passing through the Bering Strait along the way, with 12 gale force winds...... Befall.
